street art & graffiti in Palestine by banksy faile blu

The road was long and the immigration was intense, but we got there in the end and managed to get some photos for our Palestine Graffiti & Street Art Gallery. Some of the artists who managed to dodge Israeli Soldiers with big guns to get their work up on the Apartheid Wall in Palestine were Banksy, Faile, Paul Insect, Sam 3, Face2Face, Eric the Dog, Ron English, Blu, JetSet Graffiti, 3D, Abdul Rohman Elmzyen, Adam Koukoudakis, Aiko, Ayed Arafah, Bast, Ben Turnbull, Conor Harrington, Eine, Gee Vaucher, James Cauty, Jonathan Yeo, Karim Dabbah, Kelsey Brookes, Lucy McLauchlan, Mark Jenkins, Antony Micallef, Sir Peter Blake, Sickboy, Souleiman Mansour, Swoon, Yousef Katalo, Peter Kennard & Kat Phillips. They all made a big effort to get their point across, so we thought we’d do the same. Phone calls, taxis, the bus from Watford Junction, got on a plane at Heathrow with DJ Stirfry, flew to Israel & then crossed the Palestinian border which was a real eye-opener…. then a quick shopping trip to Santa’s Ghetto, a long way to go to get a Banksy, but that wasn’t the point. A big thanks to ?X?X aka the ‘Secret Banksy Collector’ for hooking this trip up for us and guiding us in the right direction! The Artwork on the walls & Santa’s Ghetto Exhibition set out to raise awareness of the troubling realities & oppression that face the Palestinian people every day. The exhibition raised over 1 million dollars for the Palestinian Youth.
